I'm seeing an awful lot of eastern cities going up on 129 lately - is the Eastern Arc plan history?

Mario

 

[dmendenjr]

I wonder if some of these east coast CEIL-2 markets will go EA once a new bird or two actually make it the EA orbital positions (unlike the AMC14)

Mario

No. Could be just making the amount of dish changes less for now. Still some sat moves which have additional capacity coming to Eastern Arc.

 

[digiblur]

OUCH

I wouldn't say ouch. I'd say NICE! Regaining that CONUS space with the efficient use of spotbeams for locals.

We still have the following markets CONUS on 129:

Albuquerque, NM
Salt Lake City, UT
Wausau, WI
Nashville, TN
Los Angeles, CA
Sioux City, IA
San Angelo, TX
Abilene, TX

Get 'em out the way so more HD LILs can come online!

 

[JohnH]

Probably "lives" in Chicago.

 

[Fiveft20in]

I wouldn't say ouch. I'd say NICE!

Amen!

 

[theoak]

Is this the first "real" report with the new links? Looks good! :up

 

[jself1982]

As soon as LA goes to spot, I guess I will have to make that big "move" back to the east coast in just a matter of a phone call myself...lol

I just hope Dish utilizes all this extra space for more HD, and it better be quicker than any SOON.

 

[digiblur]

Mapped the new spotbeams to their respective maps and posted report again.

 

[digiblur]

I had one last week...but that was manually done. This is the first automated one.

 

[Building]

Those Spotbeam Map links are sweet Digi!

I see them moved Nashville once already do you think there going to leave them CONUS?

 

[QCK]

+1 ^^^^^ Very cool!

 

[bsakoff]

Are there any HD spot beams on 129 that I could pick up in Charlottesville VA? I know Richmond is on 61.5.

 

[Bobby H]

I see they moved the SD Locals of the Wichita Falls, TX - Lawton, OK viewing market from Echostar 5 to Ciel-II. I'll have to check and see if it makes any difference on the video quality (which was fairly mediocre previously). They're still just MPEG-2.

The HD locals for the same viewing market are on E*12 at 61.5° -but they're missing KSWO channel 7 (ABC) in Lawton. I'm kind of wondering when they'll turn on that channel.

 

[nelson61]

Looks like Echostar 5 will be empty by the end of the week if they continue at the present pace.

 

[RandallA]

Looks like Echostar 5 will be empty by the end of the week if they continue at the present pace.

That will be great so they can send the junk where it belongs.
